This thread is for everyone for wants to share pictures from Ethiopia.

I am almost at the end of a 1-month business trip to Ethiopia. While I stayed most of the time in Addis Ababa, I got the opportunity to travel around for a few days. All I can say is that this country has amazing landscapes and fascinating cultural and religious places.

The first part of my journey took me to the Simien Mountains, a national park in Northern Ethiopia. It is an incredible place full of plateaus, great views and mountains as big as 4,500 meters.

Absolutely beautiful shots!
 
Thanks very much! My daughter worked there for a number of years, so I especially appreciate seeing pictures of that country.

No problem Pacco, I saw your thread and couldn't resist it! I only saw Addis Ababa, I was working there for a week, the people were so friendly and relaxed. I walked into that market at dawn and quietly shot those pictures. At one point I must have had 30+ people circling me wanting to see the back of the camera with no problems at all... Unnerving for me but I soon got used to it!

I would like to go back and see more of Ethiopia...

Regards,

Simon

Simon, this is fantastic selection of pictures, please go ahead if you have more. I like to close distance of the 28mm lens, it feels like being in the middle of the scenes.
